| nom. sg. c. | da-i-ni-iš | KBo 13.260 ii 33 | (CTH 766, NS) |
| nom./acc. sg. n. | da-a-i-ni-an-za | KUB 35.104 r. col. 8 | (CTH 758, MS) |
| nom. pl. c. | da-a-i-ni-in-zi | KUB 9.6 i 25 | (CTH 759, LNS) |
The adjectival forms are still mixed up with those of the base noun in DLL:89. – The form da-a-i-ni-an-za at KUB 35.104 r. col. 8 is tentatively interpreted as nom./acc. sg. n. (instead of dat./loc. pl.), attribute to the restored noun [w]ār=ḫa ‘and [wa]ter’.

1.1.3Meaning
Parallel to mallitinzi ‘related to/full of honey’, the form dāininzi at KUB 9.6 i 25 must be analyzed as the nom. pl. c. of a relational adjective in -i(ya)- of the base tāin- ‘oil’, hence the translation ‘oily, fatty’ (Starke 1990a:191, 240; see also CLL:202, HHw:159, HED ŠA:22f.).
